Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Shawn Rice

On a flop of 9♠8♥7♣, Shawn Rice got roughly his final 1,250,000 into the middle from the big blind, at risk against Thomas Koral from under the gun.

Shawn Rice: A♦J♣8♣5♥2♥ All in
Thomas Koral: A♠9♦9x4♥2x

Rice had middle pair with a double gutter and two backdoor flush draws, along with the nut low draw, while Koral flopped top set with the nut low draw.

The board ran out 2♣7♠ as Koral's ace-four was the better low and he improved to a full house to eliminate Rice in 11th.
